Familiarizing with the Zend Framework in one weekAh, you did not mention that. As said, read up the documentation of those specific libraries. The learning curve for MVC with ZF can be a bit steep if you don't know the MVC concept yet. Otherwise I'd say it's more than possible to get familiarized with it in a week.

Why do game developers prefer Windows?That's not true actually, that Linux users won't pay for software. The Humble Indie Bundle (a bundle of games you can get for any amount of money you wish to pay) has been done twice now and every time it showed Linux users paying more than Windows users for the bundle.

Worst coding standard you've ever had to follow?If you need to scroll horizontally (for example more than half a page) there's probably something wrong as well. No indenting isn't good either as it makes code completely unreadable. I try to stick with a 78-col limit, but if required to go over that amount I don't mind, but I do try to avoid it.
